About Dan Doney
Dan Doney is currently the CEO of Securrency, Inc, a FinTech company that combines world class security, advantages of distributed ledgers, and patent pending liquidity algorithms to produce a new kind of financial instrument: a highly liquid, dividend-yielding, investment-grade digital currency with the stability of bonds, transferability of Bitcoin, and investment grade characteristics of securities.

They provide a disintermediated path to match opportunity to capital globally brining liquidity to previously illiquid markets and converting trillions of dollars of latent asset value into highly tradeable digital instruments.
